Midfielder Mauricio Pereyra is the fourth-highest paid player on the Orlando City roster, according to a newly released report from the MLS Players Association.
The midfielder will earn a base salary of $960,000 in his first year in MLS, with $1,078,000 in total guaranteed compensation, according to the MLSPA salary report released Friday. Pereyra’s compensation figures were not previously released by the club.
Since Pereyra’s contract with his Russian club, FC Krasnodar, had already expired, Orlando City avoided having to pay a transfer fee while acquiring the midfielder. Since the team signed him on June 30, Pereyra has notched two assists during four appearances for the Lions.
